You never know what will turn up at Coloradolady's vintage show. Mine is a over-sized straight razor. I saw this in an antique store. I am sure it was used for advertising purposes. Back in my young days, all the men used a much smaller version daily. They kept them sharp using an old leather strap.
Drop by http://coloradolady.blogspot.com and see what the other participates have to share.

I love these old reminders---I can smell the Old Spice and Vitalis right now.

My Chris still uses a real Gillette with the double-edge blades, and a shaving mug with soap and a brush. It has its own special little Tupperware snap-top bowl for when we travel.

If your Daddy used one like that, you'd laugh at the time when I balanced the little package of my Daddy's razor blades in that narrow slot in the back wall of the medicine cabinet. I thought it was for storing them handy, and was appalled to hear that I might have disposed of the whole thing right down the slot.
